As a Tavern Cook, you have spent your life behind the scenes of a tavern or other similar established, performing culinary arts for your guests to enjoy. You possess skills and knowledge about the art of cooking that common folk don't. As a tavern cook, think about how important being a cook is to you. Is your cooking background such an important aspect of your life that you went out adventuring for the sole reason of finding exotic dishes and ingredients from around the world? Or do you hate being a tavern cook, and are adventuring to get yourself away from your old and boring life? Maybe you fall somewhere in between, and occasionally go off-track to find a special type of herb, or a new dish from a different culture. The extent of your relationship with the culinary artform is the most important aspect when thinking about a character with this background.

Suggested Characteristics
Think about how cooking has shaped you as a person. Do you obsess over food, constantly thinking about new dishes and ingredients, constantly scrutinising and criticising other people's foods? Or are you more calm about it, occasionally volunteering to cook food for your party? Maybe you have a signature dish with a secret recipe, or you just casually cook simple foods and snacks.
